Thousands of local children return to school this week as classes begin in the Arlington, Marysville and Lakewood school districts.

It’s been a tough year for the high priests of global warming in the U.S. First, NASA had to correct its earlier claim that the hottest year on record in the contiguous U.S. had been 1998, which seemed to prove that global warming was on the march.

Meanwhile, the winter of 2007 was the coldest in the U.S. in decades, after Al Gore warned us that we were about to see the end of winter as we know it.

Repeat after me: September is late summer, late summer, late summer. The soil is still warm, the nights are cool and the plants are programmed to put down roots.

Some rhodies actually re-bloom in late summer and many hedge plants put on another flush of growth. Even the lawn starts to grow again and look green for a change. The plants are excited about the season and you should be, too. There’s lots of great stuff to plant and lots of reasons to be optimistic. So forget any of this fall nonsense, it’s just late summer.
